Tish Long: The Velvet Hammer

This week, Iron Butterfly is joined by Tish Long, former Director of the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, and the first woman who became Director for a "big five" 3-letter agency. She shares her experience serving in key leadership roles across the community, including as the Deputy Director of Defense Intelligence Agency, Deputy Director of Naval Intelligence, and Deputy Undersecretary of Defense for Intelligence.

In this episode, Tish walks us through her journey to becoming one of our community's "firsts." She shares the challenges of self-promotion, the link between leadership and confidence, and her journey growing the courage to ask "why not me?"
